An estimated 1.28 billion people went to the movies in 2011, which is the lowest number since 1995.

However, the year’s most successful film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part II, earned more than $1 billion. Part I of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn has so far grossed more than $650 million.

The National Association of Theater Owners says 2002 was the busiest year for theaters, with 1.57 billion moviegoers.
